Artisan Bistro, creator of modern organic frozen entrées, burritos, bowls and bakes, today announced that Kyle Richards, actress and star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has joined the company as an investor. In addition to her investment in the brand, the reality TV celebrity will enhance the brand’s marketing efforts by helping to turn the spotlight on the company’s existing product line and upcoming innovation.

“I’ve been a superfan of Artisan Bistro for some time, so when the opportunity arose to become actively involved in the growth of the company, I jumped at the chance,” said Richards. “I can relate to the challenges many consumers face when it comes to juggling nutritious eating with a hectic schedule, so I appreciate having convenient options like Artisan Bistro that taste great and aren’t loaded with things I know I shouldn’t be putting in my body.”

According to Leo Griffin, chief executive officer of Artisan Bistro Foods, Inc., Richards will serve as a spokesperson for the brand to help bring to life the convenience, premium-quality ingredients and satisfying flavors of its growing line of frozen products designed to meet the needs of busy, health-conscious individuals. Richards will play a role in a variety of efforts, including a series of exciting in-person events and publicity driven activities.

“Kyle embodies our target consumer: busy moms and professionals who are constantly on a journey to nourish their bodies with healthy nutrition, but don’t want to become consumed with constantly deciphering labels,” said Griffin. “We’re poised for an incredible year ahead and we’re thrilled to have Kyle on board to help elevate the Artisan Bistro brand.”

In addition to appointing Richards as a brand spokesperson, Artisan Bistro will activate an aggressive marketing, branding and public relations campaign for 2015.
